    Once there was a little kangaroo named Joey.
    His mother worried about him, as mothers do.
    She worried that )oey might get lost.
    So f to keep track of him,
    she put Joey in her pocket.
    Itwas comfortable in mother's pocket.
    Joey had his coloring books and his
    toys to play with there. But he was
    lonely for someone his own age.
    "I want to go play with my friends," said Joey.
    "Ask your friends to come HERE and play " said mother.
    So Joey invited his friend Billy
    ^y And he invited his friend Betty.
    And he invited his friend Bob.
    And they all came to visit.
    At first Joey's friends had fun bouncing
    around in mother's pocket.
    But after a while they wanted to do
    something else.
    "Let's watch TV, " said Billy.
    I don't have a TV, " said Joey.
    Til get mine," Billy said.
    And he did.
    At first they couldn't
    get a good picture.
    "Is that better?" asked Billy.

    "Much better/' said Bob.


    "But there aren't any programs
    worth watching, " said Betty.
    "Let's play some records."
    "I don't have a record player/
    said Joey.
    Ill get my stereo/' said Bob.
    And he did.

    Betty and Billy helped.

    ^k*
    They listened to the music and danced.

    "We've played all the records/'
    said Billy. "Now what?"
    "Let's form a band and play
    our OWN music," said Betty.
    "I have a guitar, " said Joey.
    Billy and Betty and Bob
    ran to get their instruments.
    Bob brought his horn.
    Billy brought his drums.

    said mother.
    "OUT! OUT! Everybody out!" she said
    Out went the TV and the stereo. Out went Bob and his horn.
    Out went Billy and his drums.
    Out went Betty and her piano.
    And out went Joey.

    OOPS/
    said mother.
    I mean to
    didn't
    throw YOU out!
    as long as I AM out,
    Joey, "may I go play?"

    "Yes," Mother said with a deep sigh.

    "But don't get lost."
